The Nikon 1 NIKKOR VR 30-110mm f/3.8-5.6 is a compact telephoto zoom lens designed for Nikon's now-discontinued CX-format mirrorless cameras. It provides a versatile 35mm-equivalent focal length of approximately 81-297mm, making it suitable for portraits, sports, and landscape photography.
The lens features Nikon's built-in Vibration Reduction II image stabilization, which minimizes camera shake for sharper results, especially in low light or at longer focal lengths. It uses a Silent Stepping AF Motor (STM) for fast, smooth, and quiet autofocus, which is particularly beneficial for video recording. The lens has a collapsible barrel design, contributing to its very compact and lightweight form factor when not in use.
